Cooking the Magazines: Peanut Butter and Chocolate Dipped Pretzels

Honey wheat pretzels dipped in a chocolate peanut butter mixture make for an easy, no bake treat.

I’m debating whether this is even worthy of a true recipe post. Three ingredients?! Hey, if it’s good enough for Cooking Light to call a recipe, it’s good enough for me!

Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best, as these dipped pretzels have proven. Chocolate and peanut butter is already a well-loved combination. Add some honey wheat pretzels and you’ve got a sweet snack healthy enough to justify for an afternoon snack.

Description

Honey wheat pretzels dipped in a chocolate peanut butter mixture make for an easy, no-bake treat that’s perfect for snacking.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 30 braided honey-wheat pretzels

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
  2. Melt the semisweet chocolate in a glass bowl in the microwave, heating in 30-second increments and stirring until smooth.
  3. Once the chocolate is smooth and melted, stir in the creamy peanut butter until fully combined.
  4. Dip each honey-wheat pretzel halfway into the chocolate-peanut butter mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
  5. Place the dipped pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Refrigerate the pretzels for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.

Notes

These pretzels can be stored in the fridge or freezer, making them a convenient snack to have on hand. Consider doubling the recipe as they tend to disappear quickly. The recipe is adapted from Cooking Light December 2011.

All you need are fifteen minutes to whip up a batch of these and you can enjoy them throughout the week. My peanut butter chocolate mixture dipped closer to 40 pretzels than the 30 it called for. Because these will last in your fridge or freezer, you might as well double the recipe…once these ran out I was definitely wishing for more!
